Gift Guide: For the Hostess

With Thanksgiving almost a week away I’ve been thinking a lot of about entertaining and home decor, in general. I wanted to start off my 2018 Gift Guides with one for the hostess. We all have that special lady in our life who knows how to throw a really good party! She’s basically the Martha Stewart of your friend group and knows her way around a chic table setting. Whether you simply want to give her a holiday gift this year or don’t want to show up empty-handed at her fabulous New Year’s Eve party, you’ll have to find the perfect gift for your hostess!

Honestly I think hostess gifts are one of the easier ones to check off my list. Why? To start, they clearly are passionate about entertaining, but it isn’t so specific of a hobby that you have to be an expert on the subject to know what would make a good gift. Secondly, the perfect hostess gifts also happen to be really darn cute. I mean look at these adorable bread printed accent plates or these cute dog inspired dishtowels!

A great cheese board or serving tray is something you can pick up in almost any home store (or Target!). You can also gift her something that makes her job as a hostess easier, like this chic wine cooler that will look great on display and keep wine perfectly chilled. Speaking of wine, she would have a blast making mulled wine with this easy kit! And even if she already has some, I’m sure she’d appreciate a few extra champagne coupes on hand for future parties. I love that these coupes have a monogram on them, they would be such a sweet gift for newlyweds too!

One of my favorite gifts to give the hostess with the mostess is this book, All in Good Taste, from Kate Spade. It’s full of great entertaining tips and will look so pretty on her coffee table. Plus, Kate Spade offers the most gorgeous free gift wrapping when you shop in store. I’d pair this book with these yummy truffles because, considering how hard she works, she deserves a little treat just for her!

I wanted to include some small items in this guide that would be super affordable to keep on hand for any last minute hostess gifts. These pretty matches come in a few fun shades, a foodie will love this unique salt set, and who wouldn’t want to drink their morning coffee out of this adorable mug?!
